LIQUID-FUEL BURNER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVIS J. HINsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lake Charles, in the parish of Calcasieu and State of Louisiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Liquid- Fuel Burners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention comprehends certain new and useful improvements in liquid fuel burners and has for its primary object to provide a device of this character which will be of simple construction and operation as well as highly efiicient in use and especially adapted for cook stoves and the like.

Another object of this invention is to provide a liquid fuel burner having an improved form of volatilizer and burner proper.

Another object of the invention is to provide a burner of this character which will be cheap of construction as well as strong and durable and highly efficient in use.

This invention has for a further object to generally improve and simplify the construction and operation of devices of this character and increase the efficiency thereof without materially increasing the cost of the same.

With these and other objects in view as will become more apparent as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings. in which Figure 1 is a top plan view of my improved burner, partly in section, Fig. 2 is a side elevation with parts in section, Fig. 3 is an end elevation, and Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail perspective view ofone of the supporting blocks.

Referring in detail to the drawings by numerals, 1 designates the liquid feed pipe leading from a suitable supply tank, not shown, and having a v e 2 for controlling the flow of liquid through said pipe 1.

A suitable elbow 3 is positioned upon the free extremity of the feed pipe 1 and has an Specification of Letters Patent.

tioned at right angles to said pipe 1, a T connection 5 or the like being secured upon the free end of said pipe 4 and having the oppositely directed discharge pipes 6 secured therein and extending at right angles to said pipe 4, the free extremities of said pipes 6 being open, the purpose of which will presently appear.

Engaged against the elbow 3 is one end of a helical spring 7 which has its opposite end bearing against a cap 8 engaged in the rear end of the sleeve 9, which has its forward end secured in the large T 10 having the pipes 11 projecting therefrom in opposite directions and at right angles to the sleeve 9, said T 10 inclosing the small T 5. while the pipes 11 inclose the pipes 6. It will also be understood that the large T 10 and pipes 11 form the volatilizing chamber of the device and as the liquid escapes from the free ends of the pipes 6, it drips into the pipes 11 of said volatilizing chamber to be converted into a gas, as the pipes 11 are positioned directly over the burner caps 12, which are perforated and rest upon the burner plates 13.

The small T 5 is retained in proper position by means of the supporting and spacing perforated disk 14 engaged'around the forward end of the pipe 4 and positioned in the forward end of the sleeve 9. and it will be readily understood that as this disk 14 is perforated. the gas generated in the volatilizing chamber will also enter the sleeve 9, and should the gas be generated faster than it is consumed. the cap 8 will be forced out of the rear end of the sleeve 9 against the tension of the spring 7 to permit escape of the excessive amount of gas, when the spring 7 w ll return the cap 8 to normal posit on.

The gas generated in the volatilizing chamber escapes from the same by way of the pipes 15 connected at their upper ends with the elbows 11' mounted upon the free extremities of the pipes 11 and having the reducers 16. secured therein, said pipes 15 being considerably smaller than the pipes 11 and threaded in the reducers 16. The opposite ends of the pipes 15 are connected, as shown at 17, with the burner nozzles 18, then through the burner plates 13, said burner plates 13 resting upon the connections 17 and bein provided with air inlet openings 19, as will be readily understood by referring to the drawings.

It will be understood that the nozzles 18,

extension pipe 4 secured therein and posi- 'When. starting operation of the device. It

Will also be readily understood that suitable valves 23 are positioned in the curved portions of the pipes 15, whereby the flow of oil or gas through the same maybe lreadily controlled, and it Will be apparent that :during operation of thedevice, the blaze will spread from. the perforations of the burner cap 12 tothe pipes 11 of the volatilsizing. chamber to heat the same and thereby create gas to be fed to the burner nozzles 18 andw'consumed at thispoint. v

Fromfthe foregoing it ill be readily japparent that I have provided-a liquid fuel burner Whichv Will be simple in "construction and operation and it will be understood that any number'of arms may be included in the volatilizing. chamber Wll3h a burner proper positioned beneath the same. It Will further be understood that many minor changesoin the details of construction and arrangement of parts I may be made Within thescop'e of the appended lclaim's Without departing from the spirit ofthe invention, or "sacrificing any of theadvantages thereof.

What is claimed is 1'; A. device of the class described comprising a liquid conducting pipe, a volatilizing chamber, an extension pipe secured to said liquid conducting pipe and extending into the volatilizin'g chamber, a'sleeve projecting from said volatilizing chamber, 'a cap positioned in said sleeve, means engaged around said extension and bearing against said cap to resiliently retain the latter in the end of said sleeve, burners beneath said volatilizing chamber, means for conducting gas from said volatilizing chamber to said J burners, means for controlling the flow of gas to said burners, a drip pan, and means positioned 1n said drip pan for'suppor'ting said burners above the same.

2. A device of the class des'cribed'comprising the combination, With a drip pan and volatilizing chamber; of burners betv'veen said drip pan and said 'volatllizing chamber and including nozzles, burner plates positioned upon said nozzles and having air openings, perforated burner caps* positioned upon said burner plates, connections between said burners and said volatilizin chamber means for c'ontrol'lln the flow of gas from said chamberto said burnv, ers,means for feeding a lilqu d to said vol a'tilizing chamber, and removable supports posltioned 1n sa d drip pan for supporting the burners and the v'olati'llzing chamber.

In testimony whereof 'I aifix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
